Martinez: Right time for Scharner to leave Wigan

Wigan Athletic boss Roberto Martinez holds no grudge against West Bromwich Albion midfielder Paul Scharner.

Scharner quit the Latics for Albion in the summer.

Before Wigan's victory yesterday, Martinez insisted: "I think it was right time for him to leave. He wanted to move on to a different challenge and felt he had been here long enough.

"Sometimes as a player you feel that way, and you have to respect that."
